Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I had blood drawn two days ago and the gal hit something that sent sharp pain on the top side of my arm diagonally toward my pinky finger. I immediately asked her to take it out, which she did. She said that she had hit a tendon. The pain still comes with different types of movement. It feels almost like an electrical shock. What can I do? And will it go away on it s own?
hi apply hot packs and apply voveran gel or anti-inflammatory gel with gentle rubbing till it dries on skin. Use broad arm sling for a week and take advil tabs after meals for 3-5 days.It should subside, if doesn't show to an orthopedic doctor.Give arm rest as much possible thanks
